Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Hunter's Ridge Subdivision
Dear Mr. Anderson:
On March 27, 1997 you were issued General Water Quality Certification
No. 3103 authorizing you to place 0.09 ares of fill in wetlands or waters for
the purpose of constructing a road crossing for the Hunter's Ridge
Subdivision. As you know conditions of this certification included the
placement of a deed restriction or conservation easement on the remaining
wetlands to prevent further impact.
On August 27, 1997 Mr. John Dorney and Mr. Eric Fleek from the Division
of Water Quality's Central office conducted a compliance evaluation inspection
of the aforementioned project. At the time of the inspection it was noted that
you have not placed fill material in the wetland areas which were to be put
under deed restriction or conservation easement. This and continuing
inspections are part of an ongoing compliance and enforcement program
established by the Division of Water Quality to monitor compliance with
conditions of 401 Water Quality Certifications and to enforce those
conditions.
The Division of Water Quality appreciates the fact that fill material
has not been placed in the aforementioned wetland areas. However, as was
previously discussed with Mr. John Dorney you still must formally address the
requirement for deed restriction, conservation easement or al, similar mechanism
on remaining wetlands to prevent further impacts. In order to be fully
compliant with the conditions of your 401 Water Quality Certification you
must provide information regarding the placement of deed restriction,
conservation easement or similar mechanism on remaining wetlands. To this end
the Division of Water Quality requests that you explain in writing howyouu
plan to meet this requirement. If you have any questions regarding this matter
please feel free to call me.or John Dorney at [phone].
Sincerely,
Water Quality Certification Program
